Keep your ears open

Oils, 20x25cm, wooden panel

In this surreal painting, the endangered Chacoan Peccary is brought to life with bold colors and playful symbolism. The animal's ears are transformed into the top parts of pineapples, representing the loss of its natural habitat to agriculture.

The pineapple ears reflect the unique charm of the peccary while also telling a deeper story about the effects of farming on biodiversity.

By blending whimsical elements with serious themes, this artwork captures the delicate balance between humor and the urgent message about the fate of endangered species like the Chacoan Peccary.
